Fog of Midnight

Cold dews swirl
In ebony mists ~
Breath of fleshless shadows
Creeps in veils where goblins dance ~
Spinning gloom

Sorry how it worked out with the two stanzas and all. Her current contest also asks for two stanzas

Me too! But on the flip side I can always add another verse at a later date and I so appreciate your heads up on the current contest. What a good friend you are. Warm blessings of autumn joy to you! Thank you!

Hi Anaya! Can't believe All Hallows Eve was two weeks ago and here I am answering your wonderful feedback. :( Thank you! I have always loved the spookiness of Halloween. It was fun to tap into this part of Halloween! Hope you are well. Sending you warm autumn blessings!

I'm dizzy 'ere the dance halls open in Hawaii; which is the Saturday eve 'ere Hallows Eve. Guys come as pirate's with an eye patch, or Zorro eye-wrap round their heads, hope there's enough candies for the kids tomorrow, Aloha oe!

I really like this. I could be mistaken, but I think she asks for two verses. You should check that out!

Hi Andrea! Thank you! And, you are not mistaken! I have seen entries with one stanza and entries with two stanzas. I went back and checked but didn't scroll down beneath the picture to see the request for two stanzas! The contest is closed so I will have to live with my error! Sigh! But it was fun to write. In the future I think Nette needs to put all of the contest requirements at the top of the page. Thank you for your always supportive messages! Blessings!!

Hi Sara! Many thanks coming your way. Have always loved the spookiness of October fog wondering what or who is hiding in it! Thank you for your best wishes! Looks like we picked the same prompt! Love your business!! So visual! Hugs and blessings!!

Thank you so much, Anne-Lise! Watching the fog rise at night is often a mystical and sometimes downright scary experience. There is a park at the end of our street and during the winter winter when the fog rises up it becomes a place of mystery. Blessings and hugs.
